At The Getty (14)
Manet's Woman with a Tub (1878-9) at the Manet and Modern Beauty exhibit at The Getty in Los Angeles.
Manet's new interest in pastels coincided with a return to the female nude. Here a model, all the more naked for having retained her stockings, bends over a tub of water. Behind her, crowned with cologne bottles and a chamber pot, stands a toilette table, its pleated skirt described with brisk scribbles and vertical strokes.
